What I see from here in the EU, is sort of revenge: MAGA folks are doing whatever to hurt political opponents in general, and underrepresented groups (including LGBT) are the "object" of their conflict.
I try to be rational, I ruined my days for the shock in November already, I do not want to do it again.
So, they also are eliminating all statements concerning accessibility, I have my best friend who's hetero but they're totally blind, and if accessibility is dismantled from tech, they'll be screwed both in work, and personal life.
Tell me I'm building a conspiracy, even tell me my author attitude is influencing me. You could be right.
But I have a couple ideas. They have no interest in America's values or what they call them. They're interested in themselves! So...
Musk has ALWAYS declared his intention to "destroy the woke virus" ...woke? Mine is blissfully sleeping! 🦠☣️
No, seriously. Musk's daughter is a trans mtf and he's never accepted her as she is. Always saying "my son is dead" and so. Honey, you never had a son, open your eyes dude...
Trump is Musk's handpuppet and I even think of it about the guy he set free from prison, the one who sold substances in the darkweb.
Musk needs those """meds""" and maybe he asked daddy Donald to provide the right person...
Then, about DEI and accessibility cut-offs? Basically it's matter of money, and following weeks we'll see if he dismantles ADA (american disability act) too, and section 508.
Hopefully not.
But, is it coincidence?
I just heard about an AI tool called "openAI Operator" which should do things, shopping included, by itself.
I have quite an experience with computers and digital products for my blind friend, so, I know they use AI as well.
But while it's now possible to navigate, explore, accessible products give you freedom, what happens if accessibility is dismantled? "Well, AI does all of it for you". And you'll get some super-expensive unaffordable devices which have a fence. You can do everything, but from here to there. With that closed-source account, and nothing else.
They just use us "underrepresented" group according to their convenience.
And careful, I said "they" not just about MAGA's, but even before.
If DEI and stuff was seriously a value for them, do you think they'd accept to eliminate it?
Let's see what Apple does after February 25th, it seems the only one to resist, but I'm grown-up enough to be aware that there are no "good powers".
